Tottenham CAN win in Barcelona to seal Champions League qualification, Mauricio Pochettino says
Tottenham believe they can go to Barcelona and get the result needed to secure qualification to the Champions League knockout stage, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.Spurs kept their hopes of progressing through Group B alive with a 1-0 defeat of Inter on Wednesday evening, Christian Eriksen’s 80th minute goal downing the Italians.2

Eriksen’s strike kept Tottenham’s European dream alive

However, the north Londoners still have to visit Camp Nou and claim one of the most memorable results in their history to guarantee their place in the last 16.Spurs must face up against Barcelona and match Inter’s result vs PSV Eindhoven Group B’s other match, who are expected to lose to the Italians having failed to win a single group stage match so far this term.Many believe Tottenham will have to win in Catalonia to progress, and the real question is just how many goals they will have to win by.The odds are stacked against Tottenham, but Pochettino, the manager, remains optimistic. “All is possible in football,” he said. “We have big respect to Barcelona, they are one of the best teams in Europe, it will be a so tough. But we have belief and faith that we can win.“We need to show again a good level to compete at our best and arrive in Barcelona and compete at our best. We need fresh legs, fresh mind and no injuries. We need to arrive that way in Barcelona.”

Barcelona are guaranteed to be group winners, having taken 13 points from their five games, meaning they might rest some players for the clash on December 11.Pochettino, however, is not expecting to get any favours.“I expect that they are going to play with all the best players, but I don’t know how they are going to prepare the side,” he added.

“We need to approach the game in the best way and believe that we can win.“What Barcelona is going to do is not in our hands. In the Champions League no one is going to give a present and not care about the result.”Spurs were made to work hard to get the win as Inter did everything in their power to disrupt the game and frustrate their hosts.They had dominated the game, hitting the woodwork through Harry Winks, but looked to be heading out of the competition until Eriksen slammed home 10 minutes from time.2

Pochettino’s side looked dead and buried midway through the group stage

“I think the performance was very good, we fully deserved the victory,” he added. “We scored at the end but we beat a very good team.“Inter Milan showed a great level, a team that’s so difficult to beat.”
